As a PS3 owner I feel like have been patient up to this point. But I think the word incompetence might be appropriate now. And how much does all the time of making patch one (now fixing it for the PS3), developing patch 2 and fixing the online servers, effect what will be in the game next year with all the lost time.

My thoughts exactly.

Lost time on NCAA '10...which just means my hopes for it are less and less.

If they would catch a majority of the problems before it's released through the QA depar..........oh wait, that's us.

I think it is irresponsible for EA and Sony to keep us guessing as to the release date of the PS3 patch. Why keep saying 3 to 5 days when thats just not the case. Just be honest and tell us to maybe expect patch #1 in our Christmas stockings and I'll quit looking for it everyday, trade in my PS3 for an X-Box and move on.

Is this something the Microsoft certifiers missed? Could you elaborate on the quicker resubmission process? Any way you could convince Sony and Microsoft to speed up the process with the second patch or give it more priority (aside from a bribe, unless EA is willing to do so)?

The certification process basically is:
1. Our internal guys test it
2. EA central QA (CQC) tests it
3. Microsoft/Sony (3rd Party) tests it
4. MS puts the patch up/Sony tells me I can put the patch up

Step one doesn't take very long usually because our guys are committed to our game. CQC takes a little longer usually because they also have to worry about other EA titles. 3rd Party takes even longer than that, because they have to worry about every single title on the platform.

I won't discuss what the small issue is right now, and trust me, you don't want me to. Ask me again in a couple months... you'll laugh, I promise. I will say it was a PS3 only type of thing, so it wasn't a factor on 360.

The fact that our guys, CQC, and Sony have all looked at the patch already means they won't need to be as extensive with it when it comes back through. We're trying to leverage the fastest possible turnaround with Sony by playing the "360 already has it" card.

The second patch should still be on schedule for both platforms.
